If you're still on the hunt for that perfect last-minute gift - maybe it's for your best friend who always throws the chicest dinner parties, or mum who's always the first to fill a glass at dinner, Bathtub Gin x Harlie Brown Studio's limited-edition collaboration might just tick every box. The collaboration combines celebrated gin with the artisanal beauty of the Kent-based ceramics studio to create a gift set that's bound to elevate the art of hosting.
I take self-care very seriously, and sometimes that involves a little bit of self-gifting, so this week I indulged in the Bathtub Gin x Harlie Brown Studio 'Le Punch' set for myself. Bathtub Gin is already a firm favourite among gin lovers for its rich, double-infused flavour profile, and it didn't disappoint. Yes it was, as expected - strong - but it also had a fruity flavour that gave it a smooth finish. It's the type of gin that makes a G&T feel special or a carefully crafted cocktail (the brand even recommends making a quirky negroni by mixing the gin with vermouth, Campari and blood orange soda).

This award-winning gin is made traditionally by infusing it with ingredients including juniper, orange peel, coriander, cassia and cardamom. The outcome is a glorious fruity gin that can impress both professional mixologists and at-home-mixologists alike. A must-have beverage for your next dinner party.
Then there's the 'Le Punch' bowl, where the meticulous craftsmanship of the Harlie Brown Studio no doubt shines through with its tactile design and that gorgeously gooey glaze finish. Already, it's proven its versatility - gracing my table as a generous serving bowl for pasta dishes, or fruit bowl that adds a pop of colour to the kitchen.

If you're looking to get a loved one (or yourself) the 'Le Punch' bowl as well as the gin - this is the perfect gift set. The handmade bowl is complete with Harlie Brown's iconic wiggle detailing and a stunning molten glaze. Made on the Kent coastline using time-honoured techniques like slab building and coiling, no two bowls are exactly alike - meaning your present is as unique as the recipient.
As my hosting era very much continues to thrive (thanks to my two brand new additions), 2025 might just be the year of the dinner party. The gin, with its strong yet fruity flavour, feels like a luxe treat on its own. But, when paired with the 'Le Punch' bowl you're getting a gift that's entirely unique. The gin-and-ceramic power couple makes for the ultimate conversation-starter, and one that's sure to bring vibrancy to the next dinner party, too. Available as a set for £130, or as a standalone bottle for £34.95, the art of entertaining has never looked - or tasted - so good.
